When Xiao Jingyue received the news that Chu Yu had gone missing, he had just left and was on his way to the rider's camp.

It was also at this moment that he remembered that a young servant of South Wind House was still locked up in the dungeon within the estate.

Xiao Jingyue immediately turned his horse and brought Xiao Er back to the General Mansion.

He had originally thought that it was just an insignificant little servant, so he hadn't paid much attention to it. Therefore, he had only sent two guards to guard it.

Never would he have thought that there would actually be someone who dared to charge into the General Mansion at night to kidnap him.

Along the way, Xiao Jingyue's face was so dark that water almost flowed out.

Right after he returned to the General Mansion, before he had the time to go take a look at the dungeon, a servant came to report, and the owner of the South Wind House came to request an audience.

That day, after capturing the little servant, Xiao Er had investigated the South Wind House and found out that the one in charge of the South Wind House was Murong Villa's little gongzi. Xiao Jingyue somewhat regretted capturing the little servant. Even if he provoked all the people in the world, he didn't want to offend the Murong Villa's chatterbox.

He had never seen Murong Yan before, and had no other choice but to hope that Murong Yan was not as talkative as the siblings from the Mu Rong family.

Xiao Jingyue pressed the center of his brows impatiently, and had his servants bring him in, then ordered Xiao Er to go into the dungeon to investigate, before returning to the front hall.

Inside the Clear Wind Courtyard, Qu Ling, who was just about to go out and investigate Huo Xinyi, heard from the servants that the owner of the South Wind House had arrived. He decisively turned around and walked towards the hall.

Qu Ling walked to the entrance of the hall, just in time to meet Murong Yan who was led in by a servant.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, then turned their gazes away as if nothing had happened.

Qu Ling was the first to walk into the front hall, greeting Xiao Jingyue while grinning: "Good morning General!"

When Xiao Yi, who was waiting outside the hall, heard this, he couldn't help but facepalm and sigh.

It's already time, what's the early part?

Xiao Jingyue ignored Qu Ling, and looked towards Murong Yan who was behind her.

Murong Yan cupped his hands and greeted, "This commoner greets General Xiao."

Xiao Jingyue nodded his head, and said lightly: "This general and your brother have a sworn brother, Sir Murong need not be too courteous, please take a seat."

"Thank you, General." As Murong Yan said this, he did not sit down. He said straightforwardly, "This commoner came today because I wanted to ask for a person from the General."

What should come will eventually come. Xiao Jingyue did not have the intention to hide and apologetically told Murong Yan about the news he just received.

"He's gone?" Qu Ling immediately stood up and walked out, planning to go to the dungeon to investigate.

Xiao Jingyue frowned, but before he could open his mouth to stop him, he heard Murong Yan asking, "General, can this commoner go into the dungeon to take a look?"

But this person was his sworn brother, and the person who had disappeared was also someone from the South Wind House. Xiao Jingyue could only nod and say, "Follow this general."

Just as Xiao Jingyue reached the entrance of the hall, he bumped into Qu Ling who had just returned.

He caught the woman by the shoulders in time to keep her from falling into his arms.

Qu Ling took two steps back, raised his head and smiled at him in embarrassment, "Where's the dungeon?"

"Follow me." Xiao Jingyue left these two words and took the lead to walk out.

Murong Yan who was at the back, looked at the two people in front of him without batting an eyelid, and slightly frowned.

Two guards knelt in fear at the entrance of the dungeon. When the guards saw Xiao Jingyue and the others coming, they immediately told them what had happened: "Last night, there was a dispute in the dungeon. Please punish me, General. "

The two of them were afraid that they would fall for him, so they didn't dare to provoke him. Usually, they would just stand guard outside the dungeon and only go in when it was time to send him his food.

The other guard also said, "The person who came was dressed in black and was extremely skilled. Just as this subordinate was about to call for someone, he was … "Please punish me, General."

Xiao Jingyue did not reply, and walked into the dungeon with Qu Ling and Murong Yan.

Qu Ling looked around the place that held Chu Yu, and shook his head: "There are no traces of a fight."

Chu Yu's skills were not bad, someone wanted to bring him away, and if not for his own free will, it was impossible for him to not see any traces of fighting at all.

Unless, Chu Yu had been drugged or deceived, and could not move.

Truly, before one wave had even subsided, another wave had arisen. Qu Ling deeply felt that he had committed an extreme age this year.

Xiao Jingyue asked the two guards, "Did you hear what the people inside the prison were arguing about?"

The guard shook his head with a pale face. "I can't hear it clearly. I can only hear the voices of two people."

After a pause, he added, "A man and a woman. The man's voice belongs to that boy."

Hearing that, Qu Ling's face changed slightly, and he exchanged glances with Murong Yan without batting an eyelid.

Xiao Jingyue's cold gaze swept across Qu Ling's face, and said coldly: "So that means, there are two people who should be robbing the prison?"

Another guard replied, "It should be two people. From the looks of it, the black clothed man whom your subordinate saw is a man. "

After walking out of the dungeon, Xiao Jingyue said in a low voice: "Since this person was kidnapped within the General Mansion, this general will definitely give young master Murong an explanation."

To have Murong Yan personally come to get someone, he must not be some ordinary servant. Xiao Jingyue had no intention to investigate further, but there was no harm in helping him.

Murong Yan cupped his hands, and said: "Then, I'll be troubling General Xiao. Once we return, this commoner will also send people to search for Chu Yu's whereabouts. "

After Murong Yan left, Xiao Jingyue looked at Qu Ling who was beside him, and asked with a smile that was not a smile: "Does young master Murong look good?"

Qu Ling quickly retracted his gaze, and said with a smile while holding back: "No no, that man is not as beautiful as you, General."

Xiao Jingyue did not plan to let her go, "Really? Madam, why not tell this general about it?
